let's go to cnbc contributor keith boykins, and katy pavlich. you know what i heard today? mr. boehner might accept more tax revenues, but he's going to insist for his own caucus to get it through the house republicans much -- and i emphasize much deeper spending cuts and much deeper entitlement cuts. do you think that's what this meeting was all about? >> i think it could have been what the meeting was all about. i think that we're getting down to the wire here. president obama doesn't want to cancel his hawaii vacation, and harry reid's threatening to keep congress in session, again, for the third year, fourth year in a row. that could have been one of the things they talked about. but at this point, i'm not quite sure if boehner can really get a deeper spending cut deal. i think the most he's going to be able to get is a promise. >> keith boykin, the other thing when i was down in washington yesterday, on the phone with all these guys, is that basically the republicans are going to cave in. basically they're going to cut their losses. basically it's a strategic retreat, that
